The Stu Clark New Venture Championships: Undergraduate Edition (previously the Manitoba New Venture Championships) is an exciting competition is for undergraduate students from all post-secondary schools in Manitoba including Red River College, University of Winnipeg, Assiniboine Community College, Brandon University, University of Manitoba and others.

This is an excellent opportunity for students to bridge from traditional classroom learning to real life experience as they pitch their ideas in front of judges and an audience.

Throughout this 1-day competition individually or as a team, students will compete in an Elevator Pitch, Logo Pitch and Business Plan Presentation for more than $15,000 prize money.

Along with the opportunity to win prize money students get valuable experience pitching their venture (practice makes perfect!) and they will also receive feedback on the feasibility, market opportunity and suggestions from our leading industry judges on how to make their venture even stronger.
